BOB Books Sight Words Giveaway – 2 Winners!

by Elizabeth on August 28, 2010

BOB Books by Scholastic is the #1 bestselling learn-to-read program and now it contains two brand-new sets focused on learning and practicing Sight Words.

Sight Words are words that children are taught to recognize by sight, rather than sounding them out. They are words that don’t follow phonetic rules in their pronounciation, like “aunt”, “friend”, or “out”. Bob Books Sight Words feature the top Sight Words in two sets – one for kindergarten and one for first grade – in order to allow parents and children to read, learn, and practice easily and enjoyably.

Scholastic has introduced two new Sight Words box sets – Sight Words Kindergarten and Sight Words First Grade.  With these special sets, parents can decide whether to purchase the set their child will need in the current school year, or purchase the set that helps reinforce what they already learned.

Each box set includes:

  • 10 original books (each with 3 new sight words)
  • 30 flash cards
  • Parent guide

HOW TO BUY: Visit The Scholastic Store to buy either or both of these titles. Both Sight Words Kindergarten and Sight Words First grade have a list price of $16.99, but are on sale now for $13.99 (each), a savings of 20 percent!

    Layla Grayce – A Design Site With Style

    by Elizabeth on August 15, 2010

    Businesswoman and mother of four Wendy Rossiter Estes and interior designer Tiffany Grayce Harris have combined their talents into Layla Grace, a website that brings together the finest designs in home decor and bedding as well as items for women and children. They select every product on the site with the goal of giving customers functional items that are also beautiful.

    One of the manufacturers listed on the site is Arteriors Home, a handcrafted collection containing both traditional casual accessories, accent furniture and lighting. I love this beautiful Paulette Lamp with a silk shade.

    Layla Grayce partners with  Lee Industries Furniture to craft a line of American-made, environmentally conscious, upholstered fabric furniture. Frames are made with kiln-dried hardwood cut from sustainable forests, chair backs are made with recycled materials, and  95% of the manufacturing waste is recycled. Best of all, Layla Grayce Lee furniture is a collection of timeless, classic pieces that are well-made and can be passed down through the generations. It’s an investment in quality that will last for years.

    Keep up with what’s new with Layla Grayce on Facebook, and visit the site to see all of the wonderful products available on the site.
